HeartIess Cruelty

it is to delude poor sufferer into the belief that some worthless liniment will cure rheu- matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar tfcles as in all other matters, and the fact that the proprietors of Athlophoros have never claimed for it even all it's merit would warrant has not a little to do with it's won- derful popularity, and the thousands of grateful testimonials received by them show that their policy has been wise as well as right.
 Experience has amply demonstrated that mere outward applications are worthless. The disease has it's seat in the blood, and any remedy to be successful must deal with the obstructive acid which poisons and in flames it.
 Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles and joints directly. It takes the poison out of the blood and carries it out of the system, 1t invigorates the action of the muscles and limbers the stiffness of the joints. It reach es the liver and kidneys, cleansing them from irritating substances, and, if followed up after the rheumatic conditions ceases it will restore these organs to regularity and health.

 You ask ie am cured of rheumatism by the of Athlopholos. When I first tried it was afflicted in my knees. They were badly swollen and I suffered a great deal of pain. Three doses began to take effect, and I used two bottles when the pain left, the swelling and stiffness disappeared and has never returned. About year later my shoulder troubled me; took one bottle and was cured of that and have not had rheuma- tism since. I recommended it's use to one or two neighbors who tried it and were re- ieved.
